Answer 2

First off, if your business is worth investing in, I would ask for a percentage of the company. I would look at how much of you're capital you are investing verses how much you need to start and operate the company for one year. Based on you’re investment and the amount you are asking for would be the deciding factor of how much of the company you would surrender to me.
That’s reality, if you are raising capital from a private source. Repayment of the investment terms would be negotiable. When you move from banks to joint venture be very careful, it can be a very nasty learning experience or the best move you ever made. Have a detailed plan in place and do not bore the investor with hype. Research and facts and how you will repay the money if you go broke. Unless you are inventing something unique or are risking your entire life savings chances of a J.V or Gifting Angel helping you are remote.
Bootstrap your company and build it with your money and develop it in your vision and time.
